Each week, Construction Canada brings you a quiz based on one of our feature articles. This week’s quiz is from the feature article titled Building in silence: Noise and vibration rules. From Toronto’s downtown high-rises to the ever-evolving skylines of New York City and California’s urban centers, construction noise and vibration regulations are becoming increasingly complex and critical. As cities densify and public awareness of health and environmental impacts grows, so does the scrutiny on how, when, and how loudly construction can happen. Take our quiz and find out if you’re up to speed on the latest construction noise and vibration regulations.
